The best parts of a city rarely show up from a bus window. Walking tours get you close: the alley mural, the bakery with no sign, the guide who knows exactly which corner to stop on for the good photo. Gift someone a walking tour and you're giving them a view of the city they might not have seen otherwise. From food-focused routes and ghost tours after dark to architecture walks through historic neighborhoods, Virgin Gifts offers hundreds of top-rated walking tours across the US.

A walking tour for whatever they’re into

Know someone who plans their vacations around what they’re going to eat? Send them on a food tour through local markets, bakeries, and neighborhood gems. Into spooky stories and scandalous history? A ghost tour should do the trick. Architecture buff? There’s a route for that, too. Or keep it simple with a neighborhood tour that gives them a local’s take on the city.

Why walking tours make such a great gift

Because sometimes the best way to experience a place is to get out and explore it. On foot, they can stop for the photo, duck down a side street, hear the story behind a landmark, and discover places they’d never have found on their own. Give them a walking tour and they’ll get more than a few steps in. They’ll get a whole new way to see the city.

How to gift a walking tour

Pick a tour they’ll love, add a personal message, and send the e-voucher instantly or schedule it for later. They can choose a date and time that works for them, so there’s no need to coordinate calendars before you give the gift. And with no expiration dates and hassle-free exchanges, they can take their time deciding when it’s time to head out and explore.
